Fresh Wild AK Salmon, Enjoy: This simple recipe will give you and your guests a brand new twist on salmon, and it’s a lot simpler than it might sound. Just fire up the grill, combine the rest of the ingredients as directed, glaze on, and you’re done! The flavor of Alaskan salmon depends upon fat content and the environment in which it matured. Alaska’s icy, pure waters and the abundance of natural food give Alaska salmon unparalleled flavor. The fat content of salmon depends not only on the genetic makeup of each species, but also on its spawning cycle. The longer and more vigorous the freshwater trip, the more fat the fish will carry as it leaves the ocean.
